Spitfire Summary

Spitfire: The Illustrated Biography by Jonathan Glancey

Spitfire: The Illustrated Biography is quite simply the most beautiful book of its kind. It is a soaring celebration of a great British invention, of the men and women who flew it and supported its development, and of the industry that manufactured both the aircraft and the Rolls-Royce engines that powered them.

Spitfire Reviews

Superbly readable. -- Giles Whittell * The Times *
A drama that cannot help take wing. The elements still excite the imagination and raise the heart. -- Tom Fort * Sunday Telegraph *
A book not only for aviation enthusiasts but also for anyone interested in 20th-century military history, in technical genius or indeed in the heroic and inventive nature of mankind... Jonathan Glancey can be proud of this authoritative and comprehensive tribute to a unique aircraft. -- Adrian Swire * Spectator *
An entrancing read, a love letter to one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built. -- Gary Sheffield * BBC History Magazine *
A wonderful book. -- Rowland White
